RE: | Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) has made available to Columbia Funds Series Trust, Columbia Funds Master Investment Trust, Columbia Funds Variable Insurance Trust I and Banc of America Funds Trust (each, a “Borrower”), each acting on behalf of its fund series as the case may be (any such series, a “Fund”) as described on Appendix I attached hereto, a $150,000,000 unsecured uncommitted line of credit (the “Uncommitted Line”) as described in a letter agreement dated September 19, 2005, by and among the Borrowers and the Bank (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). The obligations of the Borrowers arising under the Uncommitted Line are evidenced by an amended and restated promissory note in the original principal amount of $150,000,000 dated June 1, 2006 executed by the Borrowers in favor of the Bank (the “Existing Note”). Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
The Borrowers have requested, and the Bank has agreed, to extend the Uncommitted Line for an additional period and make other changes as set forth below. Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrowers, on behalf of the Funds, and the Bank hereby agree as follows:
I. | Amendments to Loan Agreement |
1. Section I(1) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence in its entirety and substituting the following therefor: “The Uncommitted Line shall expire on October 18, 2007 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended in the discretion of the Bank or, with respect to any Fund, terminated by a Borrower on behalf of such Fund as provided herein.”
2. Section I(4) of the Loan agreement is hereby restated to read in its entirety as follows:
4. Interest Rate. Principal on each outstanding Loan shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate, as determined by the Bank, plus one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum, which rate shall change when, and to the extent, such Federal Funds Rate changes. Interest on each Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, unpaid principal on any Loan, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, unpaid interest on any Loan, shall thereafter bear interest, compounded monthly and payable on demand, until paid in full (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan hereunder.
3. Section I(5) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new subsection (d) at the end thereof as follows:
(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that (i) the declaration of trust or, as applicable, certificate of trust for each Borrower is on file with the Delaware Secretary of State or, as applicable, with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Clerk of the City of Boston, (ii) this Agreement is not executed on behalf of the trustees of such Borrower as individuals, (iii) the obligations of any Fund of such Borrower under this Agreement, its Notes and any claims, obligations or liabilities arising hereunder are not binding on any of the trustees, officers or shareholders of such Borrower individually but are binding upon only the assets and property of such Fund, and (iv) no Borrower or any other series of such Borrower will be held liable for the obligations or liabilities of any other Borrower or series of such Borrower.
4. Section I(6) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by restating subclause (a) appearing therein to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) for temporary or emergency purposes consistent with the then current investment objectives and fundamental investment restrictions of the Fund on behalf of which a Loan is made
5. Section II(1)(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding new subsections (vi) and (vii) at the end thereof as follows:
(vi) Indebtedness arising under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 19, 2006 among the Borrowers and other investment companies from time to time party thereto, the Bank, as operations agent and administrative agent thereunder, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, as amended and in effect from time to time (the “Syndicated Facility”); and (vii) Indebtedness owing in respect of payments due to its trustees or directors under any deferred compensation plan, provided that such payments shall not in the aggregate for any Fund exceed 5% of the Net Assets of such Fund;
2
6. Section II(1)(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding new subsections (vii) and (viii) at the end thereof as follows:
(vii) any agreement of a Borrower or Fund not to encumber its assets contained in the Syndicated Facility; and (viii) Liens as are necessary in connection with a secured letter of credit opened by or on its behalf in connection with its trustees’ (or directors’) errors and omissions liability insurance policy;

10. Section II(9) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “or the allocated costs of in-house legal counsel”.
11. Section II(14) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by restating each of the following definitions appearing therein, in their entirety, to read as follows:
“Indebtedness” shall mean, as applied to any Person, at any date, without duplication, (a) all obligations of such Person for borrowed money or extensions of credit, (b) all obligations of such Person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, (c) all obligations of such Person to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services, except accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business and payable in accordance with customary practices, (d) all obligations of such Person as lessee which are or should be capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (e) all Indebtedness of others secured by (or for which the holder of

“Loan Documents” shall mean this Agreement, the Note and any other documents and instruments designated as such by the Borrowers and the Bank, as any of the same may be amended, restated, extended, renewed, replaced or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time.
12. Section II(14) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions thereto in correct alphabetical order:
“Financial Contract Liability” means, at any time, the net amount, if any, that a Person would be obligated, in accordance with each Financial Contract to which such Person is a party, to pay to the relevant counterparty thereto if such Financial Contract and all transactions thereunder terminated at such time in accordance therewith on a complete no-fault basis (including, without limitation, any such amounts that would not be recorded as a liability under generally accepted accounting principles, such as fees payable upon early termination of a Financial Contract).
“Financial Contracts” shall mean option contracts, options on futures contracts, futures contracts, forward contracts, options on foreign currencies, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements, when-issued securities, swap, cap, or collar agreements and other similar agreements.
“Guarantee” by any Person shall mean any obligation, contingent or otherwise, of such Person directly or indirectly guaranteeing any Indebtedness or other similar obligations of any other Person and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any obligation, direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, of such Person (a) to purchase or pay (or advance or supply funds for the purchase or payment of) such Indebtedness or other obligation (whether arising by virtue of partnership arrangements, by agreement to keep-well, to purchase assets, goods, securities or services, to take-or-pay, or to maintain financial statement conditions or otherwise) or (b) entered into for the purpose of assuring in any other manner the obligee of such Indebtedness or other obligation of the payment thereof or to protect such obligee against loss in respect thereof (in whole or in part), provided that the term Guarantee shall not include endorsements for collection or deposit in the ordinary course of business. The term “Guarantee” used as a verb has a corresponding meaning.

14. The Borrowers have informed the Bank, and the Bank hereby acknowledges, that Columbia Xxxxxxx Mid Cap Growth Fund, Variable Series, a series of Columbia Funds Variable Insurance Trust I, has changed its name to Columbia Mid Cap Growth Fund, Variable Series.
15. The Borrowers and the Bank agree that Columbia Municipal Income Fund, a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust, is terminated as a “Fund” for all purposes under the Loan Agreement and Note.
16. The Appendix I to the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the Appendix I attached hereto is substituted therefore to reflect the changes described in paragraph 13, 14 and 15 above.
17. Exhibit B to the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the Exhibit B attached hereto is substituted in lieu thereof.
II. | Execution of Amended and Restated Note |

5
which shall amend, restate, supersede and replace the Existing Note and any and all previous promissory notes made by the Borrowers to the order of the Bank in connection with the Uncommitted Line. Any Loans outstanding as of the date hereof shall be deemed to be outstanding under and evidenced by the New Note, and the Borrowers agree that any subsequent Loans made to the Borrowers by the Bank shall be evidenced by the New Note. The New Note shall constitute the Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, and all references to the “Note” in the Loan Agreement shall hereafter be deemed to be references to the New Note.
III. | Miscellaneous |
1. Other than as amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and all related documents are ratified and affirmed as of the date hereof in order to give effect to the terms hereof.
2. Each of the Borrowers (including the New Borrowers), for itself and on behalf of its respective Funds (including the New Funds), represents and warrants to the Bank as follows: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date hereof under the Loan Documents; (b) each of the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Section II(2) of the Loan Agreement is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this letter agreement; (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement, the New Note and the Loan Documents, as amended hereby: (i) are, and will be, within such Borrower’s power and authority, (ii) have been authorized by all necessary proceedings, (iii) do not, and will not, require any consents or approvals including from any governmental authority other than those which have been received, (iv) will not contravene any provision of, or exceed any limitation contained in, the Declaration of Trust or by-laws of such Borrower or any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Borrower or Fund, (v) do not constitute a default under any other agreement, order or undertaking binding on such Borrower or Fund, and (vi) do not require the consent or approval of any other party other than for those consents and approvals which have been received; and (d) each of the Loan Documents, as amended hereby, constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Borrower, on behalf of each of its respective Funds, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.
3. Upon receipt of a fully executed copy of this letter agreement and such other documents or instruments as the Bank may reasonably request, this letter agreement shall be deemed to be an instrument under seal and an amendment to the Loan Agreement to be governed by the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
